AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis that a medical provider gives to people with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) and is not contagious.

HIV is the virus that causes someone to develop AIDS. HIV is transmitted through contact with infected blood, semen, vaginal fluid or breast milk. The origins of HIV have been traced to Africa. Haiti is not considered the starting-point for the virus.
